Tell me about pre-Constantine Christian-Jewish relations. Was there any friendship and solidarity between them as peoples oppressed by the Romans, or had there been animosity and that sense of YOU KILLED MUH SAVIOR been there since Christians became their own thing separate from Jews after Paul of Tarsu?

Somewhat, but I imagine the bonds of friendship and common nationality dissolved as Christianity became more gentile. Christians have always seen themselves as the fulfillment of Judaism (based off the teachings of Jesus and Paul), so there was never a "duo-covenant" theory where it was ok for Jews to stick with the Torah if they rejected Jesus. Whether Jew or Goy, salvation was contingent on faith in Jesus (and the good deeds that showed you had internal faith).
It should also be noted that the Jews heavily persecuted the early Christians before the Jewish-Roman war, and supported efforts by the Roman state in that work as well. Christians probably extended the olive branch much more than vice versa in those early decades.
By 70 the split was inevitable, as both Christians and Jews wanted to distance themselves from the ethnic-nationalism that destroyed the temple and Jewish nation. The first double-downed on Jesus being the messiah, the second opted for a new tradition of rabbinic Judaism, slowly purged of messianic talk over the subsequent failed Jewish rebellions.

Is it true that french soldiers in WW1 didn't all understand each other in the trenches because they spoke different languages?
Was it the same for the other countries?

What would be a better alternative for Death Penalty for Murderers, Rapists, Pedophiles?
What would actually work and deter people from doing such crimes? I fear that these people doesn't fear death at all, as its expected, its too fast and final, what I do believe however, is that these people fear living, living in such a disadvantage that they would rather die than to face such punishment.
and the way to achieve that is to put a Criminal under constructive surgery;
>knock criminal out
>give him breast implants
>give him plastic surgery to look more feminine
>cut his dick off and replace with a hole
I doubt most people would want to go to prison for life looking like that

I don't know about you but we have laws against cruel and unusual punishment here because the courts oftentimes get it wrong.
I can't imagine anything more vile than a society that forcibly castrates and transgenderizes an innocent man.

I'm so confused by Nazi racial policy. Did they hate the slavs or not? Why were they okay with Slovaks and Ukrainians but not Russian or Poles?

Hitler hated Slavs who were relevant enough for him to "conquer".

>>2439387
They weren't okay with Ukrainians, they killed thousands of them and planned to exterminate millions more. Slovaks (Croats, Bulgars too) were just small and irrelevant and away from were Germany wanted to settle, so they used them opportunistically

Are you retarded? Of course there was. Why the fuck do you think before you had the "traditional" polybian legion, the Romans fought in phalanxes? Who the fuck do you think Phyrrus was? Do you think they just didn't talk to anyone from those cities in southern Italy, the ones that were Greek colonies?

hey /his/ I need to do a research paper on the 1863 draft riots.
>starts doing research
>notices rioters target Blacks a lot instead of draft offices and political buildings
>wonders why blacks were targeted in first place
>makes thesis that blacks were the main target of the rioters despite the obvious violent protest that should have been carried out on Political figures.
Why were blacks targeted so much. In one case the angry mobs burn down a black orphanage and kill lil black kids. like yeah sure i could see why they lynch a few negros here and there for fun because that was a thing back then, but goddamn these new yorkers of the 1860's were savage to kill little black kids and burn them alive.
so give me reasons why they did it besides the obvious "they waz racist" short answer.
tell me what caused it all. please

I might be really off here but one of the official reasons for the civil war was the liberation of the slaves in the south. Maybe they felt resentment against blacks because they felt they had to send their sons to die for them while so many of the black community did not?
Again, I have little interest in the american civil war, as far as wars go, it's a pretty shit one.

Same reason the diversity burned down a bunch of Korean stores during the LA riots instead of going after city hall.

>>
>>2437369
Junta wanted to annex it for political reasons, they were losing support and they thought Britbongs would just let it slide
The thing was, Thatcher was also losing support so she called the bluff and sent troops.
Ignore the britposters who repspond 'muh honor' 'muh britishness', Thatcher was planning go give away the islands before but she seized the opportunity to boost her popularity.
>>
Not an Argentinian but as I understand it:
-Regime was losing power and tried to use the Falklands to shore up nationalistic sentiment to stay in power
-The argies thought the U.K wouldn't respond with force, so they were utterly unprepared (also Frogs are spineless and Thatcher was the devil)
-both sides: "muh country"

With it being the centenary of the First World War, I've been doing a lot of reading and watching documentaries about the war itself, how it started, how it was conducted and how it actually ended, including the Treaty of Versailles.
At this point I am beginning to realize that the reason the world is so fucked up in so many places today can stem from this war in particular and how it ended. The second world war was a direct consequence of the treaty itself by the treatment of Germany after the war.
The fall of the Czar and rise of Communist Russia eventually led to the Cold war and many of the wars during that era (including the rise of the Taliban).
The fall of the Ottoman empire and the partitioning done by the English and French of the area are probably the major reason why the Middle East is such a fucked up place and their huge resentment of the west, especially how the governments screwed the Arabs over and didn't follow up on their promises.
Am I stretching this idea too far though? Is this idea even considered nowadays?

Because he's the only one who's actually interesting and has presence. There are other youtube LARPers or historians who clearly know more than him but they're either boring or just spergs. Lindy could talk about anything and people would still watch him because he actually has charisma.
